It's on my to do list to open it and get one Ive found one that takes logs and has an auto feed hopper for wood pellets, can be out all day with it on tick over then. It also heats all your water too! My flash neighbours pellet burner is controlled by bloody wifi! Turns it in when he's half hour from home! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,021 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 You can't beat it. I remember as a kid my grandad picking up an old wood burner from a scrapyard and he plumbed it in the water tank of our mobile home. It was lovely and cosy and the old tank used to burble away when it was boiling 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
